■ Date; 7/28103 Item: r Department approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: Organizational Business Item Description: 2003 -2004 Sergeantsfreamsters Contract Terms Rackaroun d The City of Roseville has three collective bargaining units. This Deport deals with the Police Sergeants. There are 7 city employees in the Teamsters' bargaining unit. These employees directly supervise the activities of the police officers and others in their areas of assigned duty for the police Department. Although wages are provided in five different plans to various city employees, the City maintains a policy of parity for all employees. According to the corn , philosophy, arable � � p wages and benefits are consistently provided to the five employee groups. In addition, the City benchmarks itself with comparable municipalities (Stanton Cities). The Stanton group has contracted with the League of NIN Cities for the last 34 gears to conduct an analysis of metre area county and city wage and benefits trends. Once the data is compiled it is analyzed, entered and printed in the books that each contracting city member receives. There were 109 participating jurisdictions in 2002 covering 105 jobs within 15 job families. This method of research and comparison is more efficient than having each county and city duplicating these efforts. Thus each job classification is looked at separately across many cities to determine what comparable cities and counties are doing and whether any "Stanton adjustment" is appropriate for that job classification. The Stanton v group consists of a benchmark group of comparable sized cities to Roseville. There are 25 metro area cities Mn this group. according to comparable Stanton V municipalities, the wage increase for union and non -union groups averages approximately 3% for 2003. Staff surveyed 62 com aunities to gather this data. Based upon the comparable data the proposed 2003 compensation adjustment for City of Roseville employees that fall in these five groups will be 3%. The City Council authorized a 2003 3% wage adjustment for non - union city staff as well as the 49er bargaining unit. A 2003 3% cast of living adjustment was also authorized in the 2002 budgeting process for the 2003 calendar year.
